High-Performance OLAP cubes

High-performance cubes are a modern way to represent large sets of aggregated information.

OLAP cubes can be thought of as extensions to the two-dimensional array of a spreadsheet. For example a company might wish to analyse some financial data by product, by time-period, by city, by type of revenue and cost, and by comparing actual data with a budget. These additional methods of analysing the data are known as dimensions.

Cybertec High-Performance Cubes support all basic OLAP operations:

* Slicing

* Dicing

* Pivoting

* Drill-Down (/ Roll-Up)

* Drill-Across

* Drill-Through

Cybertec High-Performances Cubes make it possible to access cubes from many machines. In addition to that partial cubes can be merged into bigger cubes.
